analysis and design with Das/Sivakugan's best-selling PRINCIPLES OF
FOUNDATION ENGINEERING, 9th Edition. Written specifically for
undergraduate civil engineering students by renowned authors in the
field of geotechnical engineering, this outstanding text provides
an ideal balance between today's most current research and
practical field applications. A wealth of worked-out examples and
figures clearly illustrate the work of today's civil engineer,
while timely information and insights help you develop the critical
skills you need to properly apply theories and analysis as you
evaluate soils and foundation design.
Discover the essential components of two market-leading engineering
texts in one powerful combined book. FUNDAMENTALS OF GEOTECHNICAL
ENGINEERING, 5E offers a concise blend of critical information from
Braja Das' market leading PRINCIPLES OF GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
and PRINCIPLES OF FOUNDATION ENGINEERING. This valuable, cohesive
book focuses on the fundamental concepts of both soil mechanics and
foundation engineering without the distraction of excessive details
or cumbersome alternatives. A wealth of worked-out examples and
useful supporting figures help you master key concepts and gain
essential problem-solving skills. Prestigious authors Das and
Sivakugan carefully balance today's most current research with
practical field applications in a proven approach that has made
Das' books undisputed leaders in the field. Accompanying resources,
including MindTap, further reinforce the key geotechnical
engineering skills you need.
Soft Clay Engineering and Ground Improvement covers the design and
implementation of ground improvement techniques as applicable to
soft clays. This particular subject poses major geotechnical
challenges in civil engineering. Not only civil engineers, but
planners, architects, consultants and contractors are now aware
what soft soils are and the risks associated with development of
such areas. The book is designed as a reference and useful tool for
those in the industry, both to consultants and contractors. It also
benefits researchers and academics working on ground improvement of
soft soils, and serves as an excellent overview for postgraduates.
University lecturers are beginning to incorporate more ground
improvement topics into their curricula, and this text would be
ideal for short courses for practicing engineers. It includes
several examples to assist a newcomer to carry out preliminary
designs. The three authors, each with dozens of years of
experience, have witnessed and participated in the rapid evolvement
of ground improvement in soft soils. In addition, top-tier
professionals who deal with soft clays and ground improvement on a
daily basis have contributed, providing their expertise in dealing
with real-world problems and practical solutions.

Testing rocks and aggregates are rarely covered in soil testing
books and there are no separate books on rock or aggregate testing.
Laboratory Testing of Soils, Rocks and Aggregates includes
laboratory testing methods for most tests for soils as well as
rocks and aggregates, which are becoming increasingly common in
professional practice and university teaching. Part A gives a
general overview of laboratory measurements, equipment, units,
safety and standards. Part B covers soil tests from grain size
distribution to consolidation, triaxial and direct shear tests.
Part C covers rock tests, which includes the indirect tensile
strength test and point load test. Part D covers the common tests
carried out routinely on aggregates, which includes the aggregate
impact value test and Los Angeles abrasion test. Each test consists
of the following descriptive parts: Objective, Standards,
Introduction, Procedure, and Cost. References are made to ASTM
International (ASTM), Australian (AS), British (BS) and
International Society of Rock Mechanics (ISRM) standards and any
differences are noted.
Rock mechanics is a multidisciplinary subject combining geology,
geophysics, and engineering and applying the principles of
mechanics to study the engineering behavior of the rock mass. With
wide application, a solid grasp of this topic is invaluable to
anyone studying or working in civil, mining, petroleum, and
geological engineering. Rock Mechanics: An Introduction presents
the fundamental principles of rock mechanics in a clear,
easy-to-comprehend manner for readers with little or no background
in this field. The text includes a brief introduction to geology
and covers stereographic projections, laboratory testing, strength
and deformation of rock masses, slope stability, foundations, and
more. The authors-academics who have written several books in
geotechnical engineering-have used their extensive teaching
experience to create this accessible textbook. They present complex
material in a lucid and simple way with numerical examples to
illustrate the concepts, providing an introductory book that can be
used as a textbook in civil and geological engineering programs and
as a general reference book for professional engineers.

Geotechnical Engineering: A Practical Problem Solving Approach
covers all of the major geotechnical topics in the simplest
possible way adopting a hands-on approach with a very strong
practical bias. You will learn the material through several worked
examples that are representative of realistic field situations
whereby geotechnical engineering principles are applied to solve
real-life problems. There are a few carefully selected review
exercises at the end of each chapter with answers given whenever
possible. Also included are closed-book quizzes that should be
completed within the specified times and will make you think and
point you to what you have missed.
CIVIL ENGINEERING MATERIALS prepares you for today s engineering
challenges, providing a broad overview of the materials you will
use in your studies and career. You are not only introduced to
traditional materials, such as concrete, steel, timber, and soils,
but you also explore important non-traditional materials, such as
synthetics and industrial-by products. The authors use a wealth of
practical examples and straight-forward explanations to ensure you
gain a full understanding of the characteristics and behavior of
various materials, how they interact, and how to best utilize and
combine traditional and non-traditional materials. While
emphasizing the effective use of civil engineering materials, the
authors carefully consider sustainability to give you a broader
context of how materials are current used in contemporary
applications.
